[Review] SOMI – Chaotic & Confused: Bold, Fresh & Iconic

Our girl SOMI is back with her second EP, ‘Chaotic & Confused’. Just a couple of weeks ago, she dropped the pre-release single ‘EXTRA’, surprising fans with a sound and style we’ve never heard from her before.

We are absolutely hyped about this release—so let’s dive right in!

Chaotic & Confused

The EP opens with ‘Escape’, a retro and bold track with an 80s-inspired beat arrangement. The progression is sleek and confident, showing off a more mature and sultry side of SOMI’s artistry. A solid and attention-grabbing start.

Next is the pre-released ‘EXTRA’, which we’re still obsessed with. Its smooth R&B tones and sensual yet sharp delivery make it an instant standout in her discography.

‘Chaotic & Confused’ follows, shifting the pace with acoustic guitar instrumentals that evolve into grunge-rock-inspired sections while keeping the band-driven energy. The mixing here is outstanding, and SOMI’s vocals are absolutely insane.

The title track ‘CLOSER’, inspired by Sean Kingston’s ‘Beautiful Girls’ is a total club anthem. Smooth mixing, impeccable progression, and SOMI’s fresh and charismatic delivery make it unforgettable. The music video only amplifies the impact, with stunning visual effects, sharp direction, and iconic choreography. Watch it below:

Closing the EP is ‘DELU’, an R&B gem that reveals a whole new tone in SOMI’s vocals. It’s a smooth, emotional finale to an EP that proves her artistic growth and versatility.

SOMI’s ‘Chaotic & Confused’ is bold, diverse, and endlessly replayable, definitely one of her strongest works to date. You can listen to the full release here.
